In the summer heat, Zeng Fanbo and Guo Haowen, a group of confident Chinese basketball stars, suffered a setback in the U.S. arena, and appeared to be lost when they returned home. Their performance in the United States, like a broken glass, starkly demonstrates the reality: outside of Zhou Qi, no one can touch the threshold of the NBA.
Guo Allen's lost transfer is limited by the CBA's right of first refusal to extend his contract, which makes it difficult for him to find a new owner in the CBA; on the other hand, even if Guo Allen possesses the strengths, he will struggle to get a starting role in any decent peripheral league.
The crux of the CBA league, however, is that it is both a business league and carries the burden of serving the men's national basketball team.
Naturalized player Lorenzo Brown showed magic again in the final of the Men's European Basketball Championships early yesterday morning, and it was his quasi double-double that helped the Spanish men's basketball team win the title over France.
After the game, Big Hernangomez was honored as MVP, but almost everyone thought Brown was more deserving.
But in half a season in the CBA, Brown has not been impressive.
The root of all this lies in the CBA's strict restrictions on foreign aid.
The paradox of the CBA league is that it is both a business league and a mission to serve the men's national basketball team.
Therefore, the CBA league is not a true professional league.
This may seem insurmountable, but from it we can see that Zhou Qi's continued resistance is like challenging a windmill.
Three, if the CBA can not eradicate the signature fee and other unspoken rules, Wang Zhelin's transfer to Shanghai's astronomical signature fee event will repeat itself, and Zhou Qi's greed will ensue.
The main reason for Zhou Qi's reluctance to play for Xinjiang is financial gain.
There is nothing wrong with pursuing profit for professional players.
It makes sense that Zhou Qi would leave the West and join a metropolitan team, inevitably gaining more exposure and commercial revenue.
Wang Zhelin's exorbitant signing fee for his move to Shanghai has once again sparked the dark side of professional sports in China.
If the CBA can not eradicate the signature fee and other unspoken rules, Wang Zhelin's transfer to Shanghai's astronomical signature fee event will repeat itself, and Zhou Qi's greed will follow.
Sueran's biggest nuisance is that the Xinjiang Men's Basketball team has been soft on him, making it impossible for him to replicate Wang Zhelin's luxurious move to Shanghai.
For the CBA, either abolish the right of first refusal for players to extend their contracts or ban transfer signing fees altogether.
However, in the short term, these options are difficult to realize.
Therefore, Zhou Qi is bound to become a victim of the rules after a hard fight.
Fourth, Zhou Qi unsuccessfully challenged the rules consecutively, so what exactly is hindering the progress of the rules of the CBA?
In the appeal of Zhou Qi's contract dispute with Xinjiang Men's Basketball Club, the official CBA practice is that the CBA Discipline and Dispute Resolution Committee panel, which is composed of the shareholders of five CBA clubs, unanimously ruled that the Xinjiang Men's Basketball Club operated without any violation.
Now, the CBA's arbitration panel is made up entirely of investors, who are both athletes and referees, which in itself means that the players' interests are naturally ignored.
This alone is a clear violation of labor law.
From the hypocrisy of the CBA company that knows the law, we can see what is wrong with Chinese basketball.
In the many rounds of games with the CBA company and the Chinese Basketball Association, Zhou Qi and his agent, in the eyes of the fans, has turned from a simple financial fan into a heroic Don Quixote and public opinion hero.
The CBA, and the Chinese Basketball Association, are turning into loners.
Now, China's men's basketball team has begun its unbreakable after the bubble burst, and the unsuccessful men's soccer team's stay in the country shows the CFA's breakthrough.
And I'm afraid that progress in China's basketball rules will have to wait until the day the bubble bursts.
Winter has come and gone, can spring be far behind?
